(MENAFN- Gulf Times) A fire broke out at the Kursk nuclear power plant during the early morning hours, Russian media reported on Sunday.
REN TV quoted the plant's press office as saying that the fire broke out in a transformer unit not related to the nuclear department, noting that there was no risk to the safety of workers or the facility itself.
This incident comes amid escalating attacks between Russia and Ukraine since the start of the war in 2022, with strikes targeting vital energy and infrastructure facilities in both countries.
The Kursk Nuclear Power Plant is one of Russia's largest nuclear facilities and is located near the Ukrainian border, increasing its vulnerability to security tensions.
